A GUILTY GHOST SURPRISED by Gwen Gardner (Add to Goodreads)
An Angel Among Us
Paranormal happenings at the Eady household are the norm. Recently, things have become downright peculiar. Childish giggles at odd hours of the night lead Indigo Eady to her little cousin, Bryan, a guileless cherub spirit, complete with Spider Man pajamas and a set of faux angel wings. The problem is that Bryan died nearly three years ago in a hit and run that killed him and his mum. The driver was never found. Now the gang must solve the mystery of his death in order to send him back to heaven. But where to start when the trail is three years cold?
Indigo Eady
Indigo Eady is not clumsy. At least, that’s what she keeps telling everyone. Can she help that the overactive spirit community of Sabrina Shores causes her psychic abilities to short-circuit? It’s unfortunate that her cute friend Badger is often on the receiving end of her mishaps. At times, she is positively hazardous to his health. Even so, sparks fly in more than one direction.
THEY ALL FALL DOWN by Angela Brown (Add to Goodreads)
Abby and Basil: New love reaches new heights as they finally give in to their lust and desire for each other.
Q: Consumed by the Devourer within and his base need to claim Abby as his own.
The crave: What it all boils down to. A crave for souls. A crave to keep love intact beyond betrayals. A crave for a second chance. A crave for power and The Fall of mankind.
“Love can conquer all” is put to the test and salvation may be impossible when it’s “ashes, ashes…they all fall down.”
About Gwen
Gwen Gardner is a native Californian living in sunny San Diego, where her love of reading and writing led to a BA in English literature. Life is now complete with her husband, two dogs and a daily call from her daughter.
Since ghosts feature prominently in her young adult Indigo Eady Paranormal “Cozy” Mystery series, she has a secret desire to meet one face to face - but will run screaming for the hills if she ever does. Gwen adores travel and experiencing the cultures and foods of different countries. She is always up for an adventure and anything involving chocolate - not necessarily in that order.

Originally from the former Soviet Union, Janna Yeshanova escaped to the United States when persecution became violent during the crumbling of the Soviet state. Arriving in the United States with her mother and daughter in tow, $126 in her pocket, and knowing not a soul, Janna’s talent and experiences have helped her become a high-end organizational training and development professional. Her exodus story is included in the book.

Founder and principal of Life-Spark, LLC, Janna is a dynamic and powerful life coach, premier trainer and motivational speaker. She leverages her passion and engaging style to help others overcome adversity and spark the possibilities of their lives.

Janna can be found online on the site of her life coach organisation and via the book site.

A couple's quick romance and hasty marriage is torn apart by family and fate, leaving them to face the collapse of the Soviet Union separately. Years later,old memories are stirred to give their love a second chance.

Serge and Janna's chance meeting at a Black Sea beach sparks a passionate romance and a quick marriage. Serge's parents, suspicious of Janna's motives and heritage, force him to break up with her. As the Soviet Union collapses, revealing ethnic and social pressures, each faces danger separately. Serge drowns in self doubt, his life spiraling down and in. Janna plots a dangerous exodus to America with her mother and daughter. Years pass, stirring old emotions, and changing circumstances give their love a second chance. Janna Yeshanova tells a life story, providing a very personal view of political and social change.

A remarkable second chance romance told with amazing realism in the style of a classic Russian novel.To give you a short sample of the content of the book I'd like to share an excerpt with you.

The
first time he saw her …

The first time he
saw her, he silently followed her for a long time. She walked along
easily, shifting her long, rather well-proportioned legs. Her thin
leather skirt swung from side to side, barely hiding her shapely
hips. A green blouse tightly covered her beautifully straight back.
All the while, Serge followed her like she was a vision, lacking the
courage to come closer or to back away. He knew that making her
acquaintance was a long shot; she was simply out of his league. How
could he possibly know that she, a complete stranger, would
inexplicably impact his life and be with him forever, whether she was
at his side or not?

To conclude this post, a few have the chance to win an autographed paperback (when you reside in the US) or a digital copy (worldwide), but the grand prize is a $25 Amazon Gift Card. Enter the Rafflecopter below to win.

SPAL: As I reported last week, I hid in my house for a few days. The Glowstick dominated our territory.

HB: Oh but it was fun! We played ball and ran though the house like maniacs.

SPAL: Yes. But Mummsy fell down the stairs trying to keep the Glowstick from falling. She hurt her left hand and bruised up her right leg, It’s still a little swollen down by the ankle and her hand is in a contraption.

HB: But it didn’t keep her down.

SPAL: No. It didn’t.

Monday, they went to The Ringling Museum. From what we heard the Glowstick loved the statutes and the giant murals. Even though Daddy-O said he wouldn’t make it through without a meltdown, he did.

After that, they went and had lunch with Grandpa and Auntie Summy-sum-a-lum.

Tuesday, Mummsy and the Glowstick went to The Florida Aquarium. The little guy had a blast. But he did have a meltdown toward the end. He didn’t want to leave.

Wednesday, they went to the park. But it was too wet for the Glowstick to run around.

So they went to McDonald’s and he ate a biscuit, some eggs, and sausage. After, he played in the Play Place for a good hour. He had another meltdown when it was time to go.

SPAL: Hanging out with the Glowstick meant Mummsy didn’t get any writing time in. And it left me totally wore out trying to come up with creative ways to hide.

HB: Yeah. And the way The Salon scheduled her, all she could work on was other peoples’ edits.

SPAL: And her housework.

HB: But she did visit some blogs.

SPAL: The best time to do that is when the little guy was totally zonked out.

HB: Which wasn’t much.

SPAL: No. It wasn’t. When he was awake, he was seeking out what to ransack. Why he even climbed into my house with me and closed us in. He even tried to eat my cookie. But I was patient with him.

HB: Well, I had fun. He’ll back next week for two days. I can hardly wait.

SPAL: But Mummsy won’t get anything done when he’s here.

HB: Well, she did say she would try writing at the McDonald’s Play Place even if its for an hour.

SPAL: But she needs to finish Killer Stilettos. It will be noisy and full of other little Glowsticks.

HB: She will.

SPAL: But she hasn’t decided which ending to use.

HB: You mean, she’s written a couple of endings?

SPAL: She always does, stupid.

HB: Oh.

SPAL: Anyway, she admires the Mommy Writers out there and is in awe at how they can write and take care of their families. And today is Alex J. Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writer's Group. It’s a great group for writer’s who get to feeling like our Mummsy does right now. I would say Mummsy feels like pulling out her hair out right about now.

HB: Yeah. Life happens in small packages sometimes.

SPAL: Yeah. Well, our sister Tinkerbell better get her act together for this little guy. Poor thing is going from house to house for now.

Hair Ball and I highly recommend you read the Supreme Protector of the Realm, a/k/a Tormentor of Dogs(that wouldn't be us since we're just fur-peeps), a/k/a Slayer of Mice, and the Ultimate Majestrix's post. She didn't seem too impressed with the Elvis Zombie.
